He struck out five and walked one. Nine of the 15 balls in play that Winn allowed were hit hard, but just two of those went into the air, producing a double and a lineout. Winn moved to 3-3 with a 3.18 ERA. He’s a middling play with a road start against the Phillies coming up, but he’s a pretty interesting guy on the whole with the way he’s throwing.

Casparius is expected to pitch Friday at some point behind opener Ryan Brasier. He has a chance to pick up a win, for those desperate for help in that category. Zach Logue was optioned to make room.

Logue is sent down to make room for Ben Casparius, with Casparius heading up to give the Dodgers a bulk arm for their bullpen game against Colorado on Friday.

The plan right now is for Crochet to start Friday and then make another start in the final week, but Sizemore cautioned that the team wants to see how the 25-year-old is before making that decision. Crochet has some of the best metrics in baseball, and while he has slowed down over the second-half of the year, the long-term potential competes with any starter in the sport.

Soto was slated to hit second and play right field Friday against Oakland, but even with X-rays coming back negative, the star outfielder will take a seat against the Yankees due to swelling in his knee. Consider Soto day-to-day, but New York won’t take any extra risks with the 25-year-old, so this may not be a one-game absence.

Sewald was placed on the injured list with a neck strain Sunday, and if everything goes well, he could be back for the Diamondbacks before the end of the regular season. The question will be as to what kind of role, as Sewald has struggled considerably as of late and lost his closing gig.

Adams was slated to start in center but won’t get that chance. Kevin Pillar will take his spot with Mickey Moniak (hand) still not ready to go.

Moniak was able to appear off the bench, but still hasn’t been in the starting lineup since being diagnosed with a hand contusion Sunday. Jordyn Adams gets the start in center with Moniak not ready to go.

Garcia won’t be able to pitch in a game, but the hope is that the 27-year-old can face live hitters before the season closes to build some confidence for him coming into 2025. Assuming there’s no setbacks, Garcia should be able to have a role in the rotation to begin next year.

Doyle was originally scheduled to play center and hit third against the Dodgers, but the soreness in his knee will keep him from doing that. Consider Doyle day-to-day, but keep in mind how little baseball is left/how little can be gained by risking further injury for Doyle.

Glasnow told reporters that the follow-up imaging didn’t reveal anything more than a sprain. The right-hander was frustrated by the injury as he believed he had figured out a path to avoid the sprain he suffered, which helps explain why he didn’t speak to the media until now. Assuming no operation is needed, Glasnow should be ready for the start of the 2025 campaign.
